Newcastle United target Miguel Almiron has been compared to Gareth Bale. Almiron is on Rafa Benitez’s transfer wishlist ahead of next month’s transfer window. We’ve got an owner who likes winning, who’s had a taste of success, and we know we don’t have to sell the player. Darren Eales Benitez hopes to find out this week how much he has to spend in the window.Newcastle have been tracking Almiron, who helped Atlanta United win the MLS Cup earlier this month.The 24-year-old will be allowed to leave if the “right offer” comes in, according to Atlanta president Darren Eales.“It’ll be interesting – and I sound like a broken record – but Miggy’s under contract for another three years,” said Eales.“We’ve got an owner who likes winning, who’s had a taste of success, and we know we don’t have to sell the player.

Henry Payne The Detroit News Published 3:39 p.m. UTC Jul 12, 2018 Welcome to the 700 Club. Requirement for membership: 700 horsepower. It’s an elite group of production vehicles including supercars, Bentleys and Hellcats. I’ve flogged a few. For 2018 the directory gets two new members: the McLaren 720S and Corvette ZR1, and they reflect the club’s diversity. Not straight-line drag racers like the 707-horse Dodge Challenger Hellcat or 840-horse Demon, these remarkable athletes can harness their power for any discipline from the race track to Woodward stoplights, yet they are very different species raised in different worlds to achieve the same purpose: delivering face-flattening speed in tush-flattering comfort. The 720S is the road-going manifestation of McLaren's racing success. With multiple Formula One titles under its belt, McLaren began distilling race technology into production cars with the MP4 super car in 1984. It now churns out … [Read more...] about Payne: 700 Club — 710-hp McLaren meets 755-hp ‘Vette

This story was updated April 24, 2018, at 11:59 p.m The 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for marathon will not be coming to Chattanooga and are instead heading to the Scenic City's Southern brother, Atlanta. The United States Olympic Committee announced the decision Monday evening on its website. Chattanooga was one of four cities to bid for the race, along with Atlanta; Austin, Texas; and Orlando, Fla. "Are we bummed? Of course we are. You never like to lose," said Tim Morgan, president of the Chattanooga Sports Committee. "However, we definitely put our best foot forward and made their decision harder. Even though we didn't win, we put ourselves in a good position for other USA Track and Field opportunities down the road." USATF officials visited Chattanooga for the city's marathon last month. The showing made the decision "challenging" for officials, Morgan said, because the representatives told him they came to Chattanooga with a certain perception, only to be … [Read more...] about Atlanta to host 2020 U.S. Olympics Trials marathon

Recently, companies including Atlanta-based Delta Air lines have been gradually adding technology to streamline the process and replace IDs and boarding passes with fingerprints and facial scans. Delta’s latest move along the biometrics path is allowing members of its Sky Club airport lounges to enter using … [Read more...] about Fingerprints, facial scans becoming more commonplace at airports

The Mets are good. Now they play the season to find out how good. Do you make lasting judgments about anybody before 10 games have been played? Come on. But you can see good things early. We’ve mostly seen good things against the Cardinals and the Phillies and now in Washington, where they’ve taken two straight from the Nationals. In the process the Mets have reminded us that it was just three years ago, hardly a lifetime even though it feels that way sometimes, when they were seven games better than a wounded Washington team in the National League East. Sunday night, the Mets look for the sweep against the Nationals on ESPN. Matt Harvey gets the ball, and tries to build on the five innings of one-hit, five-strikeout ball he pitched against the Phillies on what looked and surely must have felt to the players like it was the baseball version of that hockey Winter Classic they had not long ago at Citi Field. Now Harvey gets classic Bryce Harper and everybody else around … [Read more...] about These Mets have the potential to make it feel like 2015 all over again in Queens
